The driver injured in a three-vehicle crash earlier this month on Lubbock’s west side has sued custodial contractor Sodexo, claiming an on-duty driver for the company was at fault.

Attorneys for Alexandro Guzman filed suit into the 72nd District Court Tuesday seeking unspecified damages from Sodexo and driver William Charles Freeman.

Sodexo spokesman Greg Yost said, “We are aware of the suit, but we cannot comment on pending litigation.”

The suit alleges that on April 17, Freeman was driving a Chevrolet 3500 pickup north on the Loop 289 access road and ran a red light at 50th Street.

According to pleadings, the Chevrolet struck an eastbound Toyota Tundra pickup truck that then skidded sideways, flipped and landed on the Ford Taurus Guzman was driving.

The suit does not detail injuries Guzman suffered in the wreck, but seeks damages for present and future pain and mental anguish, past and future medical expenses, disfigurement, immediate and long-term physical impairment, and past and future lost earnings.

The suit was filed by John H. Cook IV of the law firm of Glasheen, Valles & Inderman.

top notch scumbags. popcorn, obviously you have never been a plaintiff to their [filtered word] I have. They manage to have most of the moocher class as clients. Romaing the halls of UMC looking for trash to cling to is what they do.

How many $'s is "present and future pain and mental anguish". I asked an attorney this question once and was discharged from serving on a jury in a similiar case. There is a reason why these morons are called "ambulance chasers". Cook was formerly with Whipum, Cheatum, and Leaveum (The Godzillas) Law Group.

I reread the article several times, and see no reference to Mr. Guzman's country of origin. If you would be kind enough point out where it does, I'd appreciate it.

I really don't understand your second sentence at all. I am generally fairly original in my comments. You probably wouldn't like it if I quoted myself instead of Swift or Marx. They got paid to be the humorists they were; I just do it as a sideline.

First of all a hispanic was not at fault, it was a white boys fault....and the Hispanic is not a mexican and he was just sitting there minding his own business when a Sodexo employee driving ran a red light which flipped the truck over onto the car...if any of ya knew how to read ya would have read or heard that on the news......so get the facts right and think about what you say before you offend someone...and he was not unemployed and trying to make a living just like everyone else and paying his own bills until he came across a wreckless driver and hurt innocent ppl in the process....I hate ppl like him....and ppl like ya who comment and have no information on the facts....

WoW!!! Ya are ridiculous... So ya are telling me if ya were sitting at a light patiently, then you see this truck run a red light hit another truck causing it to flip on top of the car your in... your not doing anything wrong you just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time causing serious injuries to you, you would just be like"oh its okay dont worry about it"??? When your the provider for your family???

Thank goodness for ethical personal injury attorneys like Glasheen, Valles & Inderman. Not all lawsuits are bad. It sounds like this guy got hurt really badly just sitting at a light minding his own business. I can't believe that some people think he's a bad guy for trying to be compensated. Who is going to help his family? It's sad to say but very few companies or people will just volunteer to do what's right without the threat of a lawsuit. Maybe someday everyone will be moral enough to take responsibility for their action, but until then we will have to depend on the protections afforded to us by our laws.
